⚠️ Good To Know
Niacinamide is generally easy to incorporate into a skincare routine, but 10% is a concentrated formula and may not suit everyone immediately.
Patch test before first use and avoid introducing several strong actives at the same time if your skin is sensitive.
Note: Niacinamide can help reduce the appearance of pores, but it cannot permanently shrink pore size.

FAQs
How do I use this product?
Use the product according to the instructions provided on its packaging and product page. For active skincare products, introduce them gradually if you are new to the ingredient and follow with moisturizer or sunscreen when appropriate.
Can I use this product every day?
Many skincare products are suitable for daily use, but the ideal frequency depends on the specific formula and your skin's tolerance. Active products such as retinal, exfoliating acids and strong treatments may need to be introduced gradually.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
Skin sensitivity varies from person to person. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, we recommend patch testing before applying a new product to your entire face and introducing active ingredients gradually.
Can I use it with other skincare products?
Most skincare products can be combined as part of a balanced routine. However, avoid introducing several strong active ingredients at the same time. If you are using retinal, exfoliating acids or other potent treatments, introduce them carefully and monitor your skin's response.
How long does it take to see results?
Skincare results vary depending on the product, concern and individual skin. Hydration can often be noticed sooner, while concerns such as uneven tone, dark spots, texture and visible signs of aging usually require consistent use over time.
Should I use sunscreen during the day?
Yes. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is an important part of a skincare routine, especially when using products that target pigmentation, uneven tone, texture or visible signs of aging.
How should I store my skincare products?
Store skincare products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the packaging properly closed when not in use and follow any storage instructions provided by the brand.
Can I use skincare products if I have acne-prone skin?
Product suitability depends on the individual formula and your skin. If you have acne-prone skin, choose products that match your skin's needs, introduce new products gradually and stop using a product if it causes persistent irritation.
